Description

The Weazel News name was first mentioned briefly in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, during a closing dialog in "Coq au Vin" in LCFR. It is in Grand Theft Auto IV, however, when its prominence was elevated, reporting events of Liberty City and the exploits of the player.

Sam Flowers is a Liberty City politician, who, during a celebration, accidentally ate a used urinal cake (believing it was a confectionery cake) and immediately blamed minorities and/or homosexuals for an attempt on his life.

Trivia

Weazel News is a parody of Fox News, as both weasels and foxes are both mammals native to North America. "Weasel" is an insult that is synonymous with the word "coward", as well as a euphemism for a penis.

The company's previous slogan, "reporting the right news", is a reference to Fox News' alleged right-wing bias.
